It’s not easy to calculate the total carbon footprint of such an event, especially since so many of the attendees are extremely reluctant to discuss their personal impact on Mother Earth, but Wired took a stab at it, and came up with an estimate of fifty thousand total attendees at the Paris talks, traveling an average of 9,000 miles round-trip apiece, burning 27 million gallons of jet fuel along the way. Adding in sundry ground emissions, the total carbon footprint works out to 300,000 tons of CO2, or over 23,000 times the carbon emissions of an average American for an entire year.
But none of that is supposed to matter, because the Angry Sky Gods allow their high priests and faithful worshipers a special dispensation to spew as much pollution as they want, especially during religious services.

Aren’t you allowed to spew as much carbon as you desire, as long as you buy carbon credits??? Isn’t that how liberals set this up???
Yup. I think some people offset their binge eating by having poor people starve for them. Same kinda principle. I’ll promise to use less so you can use more. Total balance. LOL!
ISIS threatening the world, starving countries can’t feed their people... Lets all get together and spend millions and millions of dollars talking about-— CLIMATE CHANGE.
Did I say that right? Is “climate change” the word that the hipster vegan pescatarian idiots are using right now?
Couldn’t they all just Skype each other?
I went to the drag strip last weekend where ridiculous amounts of gasoline is consumed and used copious amounts of Kingsford charcoal to grill burgers in the pits.
This was my little contribution to piss off weeny hipsters.
The regulatory threshold for NOx is 250 tons per year. For Sulfur it is 100 tons per year. Mercury is 50 tons per year.
Love the Star Wars reference!!!
That graph is useless.
That graph does not sell sqiggly light bulbs.
That graph does not sell green energy saving biodegradable products.
That graph does not guarantee funding for ‘research’.
That graph does not scare smelly hippies into buying green marketed crap.
That graph needs to be turned upside down so that corporations can sell their green crap to hipsters and ‘scientists’ can keep the funding dollars coming in.

I just emailed this to my list. Unfortunately, most of them are global warming believers. But maybe eventually all this stuff will sink in and make an impression.
I believe at “the” summit they’ll adopt ‘climatelogical discombobulation’ as the new buzz words.
WHAT!? And miss out on all the fromage and ‘whine’? Puh-leeeeze.
President Goofball looks pretty giddy in the pic currently on Drudge. Ugh.
Sadly, some people are beyond help and no amount of effort will get them to change their minds. After all, if will help save the erf, it’s worth it. Killer’s with AK’s——meh.
